Isn't "Morning Star" a reference to Lucifer?

Question

I only ask, because in a couple of songs I listen to regularly on KLOVE, a Christian radio station mention this.
Example "Who Am I?" by Casting Crowns:

Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart

Is it also a reference to Christ or am I missing something here? I guess this is one of the things that has bugged me a while and want answered.

Answer 1

Yes the morning star does mean Satan, but he does mock God so who knows whats true.

Answer 2

Job 38:7 off hand is the only quote but there is many scriptures it refers to all the son;s of god or angels psalms 148:5 They were all direct creations by god.
Job 38:7 When the morning stars joyfully cried out together and all the sons of God began shouting in applause?
Talking about the earth being created.
they were created before the earth or people on the earth.
Revelation 22:16 bright morning star is referring to Jesus.
The angelic sons of god are called bright morning stars and Satan was at one time a very powerful angel is why he wanted to be worshiped by the new humans.

Answer 3

"star of the morning" is from Isa. But there are also references to Christ as the Morning star (I guess slightly different wording) in Rev 22:16, Re 2:28 and 2 Pet 1:19

Answer 4

The phrase "morning star" refers to Jesus Christ in the Bible.
Only two references, both to Jesus:
Rev 2:28 And I will give him the morning star.
Rev 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

One reference to the "day star", also refering to Jesus:
2Peter 1:19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

Answer 5

The actual reference to Lucifer was" Son of the Morning".
And he was one of the Morning Stars. The first life God
created.
JOB also mentions when the "Morning Stars" sang together.
And Jesus Christ called himself the "Bright and Morning Star"
in Revelation.
He also said He would give US the Morning Star!

Answer 6

Lucifer isn't a attractiveness, yet a mistranslated description of a guy that replaced right into a babylonian king. The Hebrew for 'bringer of sunshine' replaced into translated into Latin, yet grew to change into right into a Latin call. there is no devil/god. Why do christians tolerate such incorrect information???? If lets translate that passage into present day language, and as an get mutually, idea-about Saddam to provide the passage present day meaning, we'd want to say: You grew to change right into a terrible tyrant, notwithstanding you got here into means promising a lot solid on your human beings. you very nearly took over the international, yet you've been humiliated and justice has been served consisting of your lack of life.
